Wedding Present for my Daughter

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Wedding Present for my DaughterI wanted to make something for my daughter and soon to be son-in-law for their house.The outer cross is made of walnut, the inner cross is made of cherry with an inset of ebony. The back is padauk. Everything except the ebony is finished with a tung oil blend. (the ebony didn't absorb any at all)There are spacers inside to lift the cherry cross up about 1/2”, and it sticks up about 1/8” (same as the ebony). Some symbolism here, two joining as one, three crosses for the trinity, etc.The hollow space inside is designed to hold small notes (3/4” x ~3”) and is to put blessings in their lives on, and stored in the cross for those hard times in life when they can take the notes out and “count their blessings” and be reminded of the good things in life when times are tough.Also, my hope is that instead of just something you hang on the wall and forget about, it's something they focus on once in a while to add blessings to.Thanks for looking!
